Are all the questions being blocked? Nothing is coming through.

Hour long meeting full of insults. The idea that working in office will foster conversation and innovation is, as someone else has said, a fat load of kwap. There are SO many reasons for why this isn't going to go well on the 4th, but I don't want to beat a dead horse.

I'm just tired, man.

Yikes!

If your position is not moved to cognizant, then don't celebrate.
80% Chances are that you be let go by end of August 2026.
The company is deep in red.

Is anyone else being told to train their AI replacement?

Can they be so heartless to cut us after so many of us uprooted our lives to work here?

Is it now a fact that Sony won and Microsoft will simply lick its wounds and step away from Xbox and gaming in general? Am I being too paranoid, because that's certainly how it feels to me.

You'd have a bad quarter, they'd cut a bunch of people, then things would be quiet for a while. That's not how it works anymore. Now the notifications go out almost every week. Someone new gets the call. Someone new clears out their desk. Every single week. It's not a wave anymore, it's a constant drip. How did we let it come to this?

If we don't change quickly, we're finished. If we change in the wrong direction, we're also finished. So either way, we're finished.

Look at what this company is dealing with. Debt that keeps growing. Competition that keeps getting stronger. Lawsuits that never seem to end. Any one of those would be bad, but all three together? I don't see a way out.

Only a few hundred from the planned thousands were cut in this round. I don't know when it'll continue, but it'll continue soon enough. Be prepared, folks.

Anyone has any hints about what this year will bring? Do they plan second round of layoffs after Q1/Q2 results?

A pile UP a day won't keep the FRA away.
Just paid off and don't see nothing

Stop scaring people for no good reason. When layoffs continue, we'll all know it.

Leadership is something that employees aspire to become one day. Our leaders are nothing but that. These are people who are so called HiPos stepped over others, stayed not more than two years, did nothing of value to the corporation but perception and favoritism moved them up and is reflected in poor leadership and zero vision that we see today. They travel for no reason, present mundane powerpoint slides just to show that they are busy to their division. Where will it end? These are the people that board trusted to lead in to the future?

Will Dvn keep this. Ctra didn’t want to give it to most employees

Hearing from several different LOB friends that the RTO reporting is no longer being monitored. Any managers have intel on this?

This worrying trend of "side hustles" has me concerned for the support I (won't) get from colleagues when needed.

I have emailed senior management regarding engineers circumventing their Teams statuses, mainly via scripts, in order for DXC to start looking into ways of identifying those responsible.

I doubt anything will happen but hopefully we can rid the company off these non-team players. I recommend doing the same. A few colleagues are following suit this morning and sending their own concerns.

If Qualcomm is an AI company as the management claims, how come we did not close any meaningful AI deal?

Always a good sign when the company handling your benefits is having its own financial issues.

It sounds multiple offices will be closed. Will they cut ppl in these office in the next step?

Has anyone NOT signed their agreement? I wonder who all received this agreement- was it the entire company?

I received a wonderful, threatening email today saying we have to sign by 6/30 or you will not be eligible to receive pending or future LTI awards. I’m a bit confused why this is being rolled out now. No new role, no new job, not even customer facing. Simply put: I don’t believe this is even applicable to our role but there is definitely triggering language in there NOT specific to customers rather generally speaking ‘confidential information’ which seems like they are trying to give employees a gag order for retaining/documenting information (not customer related) to protect themselves by preventing employees from documenting their shady ways. Curious your thoughts….

HR is questioning my 10 day bereavement that I took last month. Is this normal or should I be worried that they are looking to include me in the next round?

Are we no longer allowed to contract with the wood group?

Anyone have any updates on the possibility of full site closure at the Cary office?
I'm exhausted of the unknown outcome of this site for the past year.

What is the goal ? 8K? 5k? Endless ?

At least for a while. Or am I being too naive?

I've been watching and I'm convinced. Nothing good is going to happen here anymore. It's all downhill from here. If you have any way to leave, do it now. It's coming. Whatever it is, it's coming.

No rumors or guessing, just facts, please.

Do you have new jobs by now? I know one person who's still unemployed, and that's scaring the he-l out of me. I'm hoping others are doing better and can alleviate some of our fears about the available jobs.

What's happening with HPE? One week something is fine, the next week it’s not allowed anymore. We only find out after the fact when someone flags it. For the past year I've felt like I'm always one step behind something we weren't even notified changed. How are we supposed to work like this?

Will there be more cuts?

There are things that clearly aren’t working, but no one says it directly. Instead, we just keep adjusting around them. It feels like everyone sees it, but no one wants to be the one to call it out. So it just continues. Because that's so much better and productive than actually fixing the issue, right?

You ask three people the same question and get three different answers. All of them sound confident too. So it turns into a game of eeny, meeny, miny, moe to decide what to do. And if you get the wrong one, guess whose fault it is? This whole place has turned into one big joke.

I wanted to share a concern that was recently brought to my attention. I spoke with someone who said they had conversations with people at Light & Wonder, and they described a perception that certain upper management employees are highly compensated while contributing very little on a day-to-day basis. Specifically, it was mentioned that some individuals in senior leadership roles allegedly come in only when they choose, spend a short amount of time socializing, then leave while earning substantial six-figure salaries.

As an employee working on the production line, I can say that many of us work extremely hard every day to support the company’s success. It is frustrating to hear these kinds of comments and perceptions, especially when frontline employees are putting in consistent effort.

I hope leadership takes a close look at management structure, accountability, and whether certain high-level positions are truly adding value. In particular, it may be worth reviewing legacy Bally Gaming leadership roles to ensure fairness, efficiency, and alignment with the work being done across the company.

No revelations yet, besides my expenses going up and feeling like they want to get rid of us. I haven't met new people, I haven't expanded collaboration beyond my usual circle (whom I communicate with online), and I most definitely haven't become more creative. I do focus less, and my productivity has fallen somewhat, so there's that.

What did they think would happen? That we'd go above and beyond for a job that might be gone in a month, or two, or three? We still don't even know when the layoffs are actually coming.
